Previous conference - SCCS 2010

The 2010 Student Conference on Conservation Science was another very successful conference, with over 170 student delegates from around 69 countries. There is no doubt that the popularity of the conference was a result of the stimulating atmosphere generated by a varied programme that included high quality presentations, workshops, networking and social events.

SCCS 2010 included 32 talks and 83 posters contributed by research students and four plenary lectures by distinguished senior scientists and conservation practitioners. The conference was opened by Professor Alison Richard, Vice-Chancellor, University of Cambridge. Plenary lectures were given by Professor Ruth DeFries (Columbia University, USA), Professor Ullas Karanth (Wildlife Conservation Society, India), Professor Ken Norris (University of Reading, UK) and Tony Juniper (Prince of Wales' Rainforest Project and the Green Party, UK). All the plenary speakers gave inspiring talks on important conservation issues, encouraging debate and discussion throughout the three days of the conference and probably beyond! Equally impressive were the talks and posters presented by the student delegates, which gave an insight into the dedication and talent that is driving forward conservation science. Twenty-four conservation organizations attended the 'Who's Who in Conservation' session and we received extremely positive responses to the workshops.
